I've a question about the letter "r" is Esperanto. Is it pronounced like the spanish r (with a tap) or trilled like the spanish "rr"? I have heard it pronounced both ways.
Danki!

These are all considered acceptable variations. The one thing that is not permissible is to drop the r as some dialects of english do. For example, in Boston you'll sometimes hear car pronounced as cah (r sound dropped).

It isn't related to the topic, though.

It isn't related to the topic, though.I don't think there's anything actually called "standard British English" in terms of accent and pronunciation as there's a lot of different ones, but I think an accent which drops the 'r' is called a "non-rhotic" one - see this Wikipedia article. Some accents in the UK are rhotic and some aren't. There's even a map of England on that page showing the differences within English accents.
